Yes asbestos is banned, leaded and cad plated asbestos is still legal so i'll be using that instead in all hospitals and schools going forward.

people get weird and or mad when I mention this but there is in fact a reasonable actuarial value of how much to spend saving a human life

and I tend to lean toward the end of 3 to 12 million dollars, not the... other end

You, a bystander, can intervene and throw the switch to divert the trolley, killing only one person instead of five. But, if you do, that one person lost their life solely by your hand. There’s no right answer to the question, of course, but if you think harder about this ethical dilemma, you can find a way to blame an engineer.

I like how people keep subverting the trolley problem tbh.

This is more effort than the road crews around here bother to put in... they just huck a shovelful of cold asphalt into the hole and let traffic do the tamping. Unsurprisingly their patches only tend to last a few months.

hopefully this pipe isnt exported because it would be wildly illegal in the US and EU (specifically, making what appears to be (fake?) food grade labeled plastic out of multisource recycled feedstock with 0 testing)

Can confirm.

"What's the mill cert on this product?"
"What would you like it to be?"
"No, what standards were tested and did the batch pass?"
"Yes, it can pass any standard, which standards would you like on the paperwork?"

Had a place I used to live at that developed a big hole near the entrance to the parking lot. The apartment manager didn't really give a poo poo about fixing. One of my neighbors in the building decided to fix it, so they went to HD and got this single bag of asphalt mix that was used to fill a small pothole. I think you needed a hand tamper, but they didn't have one so they just used the bag and jumped up and down on it. Actually worked surprisingly well all things considered.
